Tras la desaparición del imperio romano en Gran Bretaña la isla cayó en manos de un conjunto de pueblos llegados de la Europa continental, fundamentalmente de lo que hoy es Alemania y Dinamarca. Estos pueblos de origen germánico, los anglos, los sajones y los jutos, se apoderaron paulatinamente de la antigua Britannia romana, donde se encontraron con una población local, los britanos, que estaba tibiamente romanizada. Siempre se creyó que la invasión había sido violenta y se materializó desplazando a los britanos. Esta idea tan bien asentada y glosada por las crónicas de aquella época, entre ellas la de Beda el Venerable, ha evolucionado a raíz de los descubrimientos de la arqueología moderna. Fue un proceso mucho más orgánico y tranquilo en el curso del cual las distintas tribus se fueron colonizando el territorio y asimilando a los britanos. Conforme estos grupos se asentaron, la geografía política de la isla se fragmentó en una serie de reinos rivales conocidos como la Heptarquía. Estos reinos eran Northumbria, Mercia, Anglia Oriental, Essex, Kent, Sussex y Wessex. Este periodo fue una era de guerreros y jefes tribales, pero también el escenario de una de las conversiones al cristianismo más famosas de la historia de Europa. Los germanos abandonaron el paganismo y se pasaron en masa a la iglesia de Roma. En ello tuvo mucho que ver la llegada de la misión gregoriana a Kent en el año 597 y la influencia de las iglesias celtas desde el norte. Aquello marcó un renacimiento cultural que floreció especialmente en los monasterios. Fue en estos centros donde se preservó el conocimiento clásico y donde surgieron obras maestras de la literatura y el arte, como el poema épico Beowulf y los manuscritos iluminados que fusionaban la estética entrelazada germánica con la simbología cristiana. La estructura social anglosajona estaba rígidamente jerarquizada. A la cabeza estaba el rey y su séquito de nobles guerreros, conocidos como “thegns”, que estaban vinculados al monarca por lazos de lealtad personal. Debajo de ellos, la gran mayoría de la población estaba compuesta por los “ceorls”, hombres libres que cultivaban la tierra y formaban la base de la economía, que en la Gran Bretaña de entonces era eminentemente agraria. Esta relativa estabilidad se vio sacudida a finales del siglo VIII con la aparición de una nueva amenaza: las incursiones vikingas. Los ataques escandinavos desmantelaron casi todos los reinos anglosajones. Sólo quedó el de Wessex como último bastión de resistencia con el rey Alfredo el Grande a su cabeza. Alfredo detuvo el avance danés y emprendió ambiciosas reformas educativas y militares. Con los sucesores de Alfredo, especialmente el rey Athelstan, se consolidó por primera vez la idea de una Inglaterra unificada, la llamada “Englaland”. Este periodo de madurez política vio el desarrollo de instituciones administrativas algo más complejas, como el consejo de sabios o Witan, y la división territorial en condados o shires. A pesar de la conquista normanda en 1066, que marcó el fin de la era anglosajona, el legado de este pueblo perduró en el idioma inglés antiguo, en el sistema legal de derecho consuetudinario y en una estructura parroquial que sobreviviría durante siglos, lo que vendría a demostrar que los anglosajones no fueron simples invasores, sino los padres de lo que terminaría siendo Inglaterra. Para tratar este tema nos acompaña Yeyo Balbás, bien conocido por la audiencia de La ContraHistoria y que, aparte de ser toda una autoridad en lo referente a los visigodos, sabe mucho también de los anglosajones. A él se debe la traducción de “Anglosajones. La primera Inglaterra”, el libro de Marc Morris que publicó hace no mucho la editorial Desperta Ferro. Bibliografía: “Anglosajones.

Episode 187 - Hammer Britannia 022 - The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb (1964) "He's living in the past! This is 1900, you have to think modern." Dust off your fez and grab your torch! If you're in the mood for a splendidly spooky adventure that oozes 1960s charm, look no further than Hammer's 1964 classic, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb. This film is a pure, unadulterated slice of gothic fun, a wonderful reminder of a time when movie monsters were tragic, heroes were dashing, and curses were, well, very literal. The story kicks off in the grand tradition: a team of intrepid (and slightly reckless) archaeologists unearths the tomb of the Egyptian prince Ra-Antef. Despite the usual ominous warnings etched on the walls, they crate up their findings and ship them off to London, guided by the bombastic American showman, Adam Beauchamp (played with wonderful gusto by Fred Clark). Beauchamp's plan? A sensational, profit-making roadshow! Of course, the mummy has other ideas. It's not long before the ancient guardian is re-animated and stalking the foggy streets of London, exacting a methodical and wonderfully theatrical revenge on his desecrators. What makes this movie such a joy isn't bone-chilling terror, but its incredible atmosphere and earnestness. It's a film that fully commits to its premise. The sets are a colorful delight, from the treasure-filled tomb to the lavishly decorated London drawing rooms that are about to be rudely interrupted by a 4,000-year-old party crasher. The mummy itself, when finally revealed in its full, bandaged glory, is a fantastic piece of classic monster design. The cast is clearly having a wonderful time. Terence Morgan is the perfect, square-jawed hero, while Ronald Howard provides the necessary archaeological gravitas. But it's Fred Clark's performance as the quintessential "Ugly American" promoter that steals the show, chewing scenery with an infectious energy. The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is the perfect cinematic comfort food. It's a fast-paced, colourful, and thrilling adventure that never takes itself too seriously. It doesn't aim to haunt your nightmares; it aims to entertain you for 80 minutes with a ripping good yarn.

Causes, as we know, are notoriously bloodthirsty,' James Baldwin wrote. What does it do to do somebody when they have crossed the boundary into a world of killing and destruction? How do they enforce their code in a place untethered from the one the rest of us inhabit?On Free State today, Joe and Dion follow on from Tuesday's episode on Stakeknife by looking at how rules of organisations like the IRA were enforced. Joe talks about what made his father lose faith in the republican movement. He also accuses Dion of deference to the British Empire which leads Dion to launch a verbal attack on Joe. Hosted on Acast.

With Christopher Zeichmann. In his new book, Radical Antiquity: Free Love Zoroastrians, Farming Pirates, and Ancient Uprisings, Christopher Zeichmann takes us on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. We meet communities of escaped slaves, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. Chris joins us on the podcast to talk about all the ways in which people in the ancient world rejected the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something different. We discuss Spartacus and the Slave Revolt at Thurii; how ancient pirates practiced mutual aid and solidarity at sea; the radicalism of Jesus; how different Jewish and Zoroastrian groups contended with patriarchy; and why the collapse of the Roman Empire was no bad thing for ordinary people in Britannia.

After surviving Boudicca's Rebellion, the Roman province of Britannia was more or less stagnant - until a general arrived with an ambition to complete the conquest. Gnaeus Julius Agricola came to Britain in 77 AD with the ambition to lead the legions into the wild northern regions of Caledonia, a.k.a. Scotland, all the way to the ends of the known earth. And the only reason we know about this campaign is Agricola's son-in-law, the historian Tacitus, who made sure that his wife's beloved father wouldn't become an unknown soldier.Sources: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-63-furies-of-britannia-sources-and-maps
In 43 AD, the Roman Empire set out to conquer the mysterious land of Britannia. But the Roman province was barely established when a massive uprising threatened to destroy their achievements. The revolt's leader was Boudicca, a Celtic warrior queen on a quest for freedom and revenge. This is a story about empire, resistance, one woman's fury, and warfare at the edge of the world.Sources: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-63-furies-of-britannia-sources-and-mapsMusic:Vopna by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Hymn To The Gods by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Neverland by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Under Siege" by Tyler Cunningham, via Pond5.com

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism. Episode 181 - The Gorgon (1964) " Don't use long words, Inspector; they don't suit you." Get ready to have a monstrously good time with one of Hammer Film Productions' most creative and atmospheric chillers, 1964's The Gorgon! This isn't just any old creature feature; it's a vibrant, gothic mystery that brings together the titans of terror, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, for a truly legendary showdown. Forget what you know about Medusa, because this film introduces a new snake-haired sister to the mix, and she's ready for her close-up! The fun kicks off in the spooky little German village of Vandorf around the turn of the 20th century. This town has a serious problem: its residents have a nasty habit of turning to stone. When a young artist is found petrified, his family refuses to accept the flimsy official story. His determined father and brother arrive to uncover the truth, but the locals, terrified of a legendary curse, are tighter-lipped than a statue. This creates a wonderfully suspenseful puzzle, with our heroes piecing together clues while the village doctor (the ever-brilliant Peter Cushing) seems to know more than he's letting on. The mystery deepens with the arrival of the dashing Professor Karl Meister, played with commanding authority by the one and only Christopher Lee. He storms into town, ready to challenge superstition with science and solve the stony situation once and for all. The scenes between Cushing and Lee are electric, a fantastic duel between two masters of the genre who bring gravitas and excitement to every line. They elevate the film from a simple monster movie into a compelling human drama set against a wonderfully spooky backdrop. The film does a masterful job building the tension, giving you glimpses of slithering snakes and haunting reflections before the big reveal. When Megaera finally appears in her full, terrifying glory, it's a fantastic piece of classic horror magic. Her ghostly presence, combined with the eerie wail that precedes her, makes for some of the most memorable scenes in Hammer's history. The special effects, which show victims slowly hardening into stone, are delightfully retro and add to the film's unique charm. The Gorgon culminates in a thrilling and dramatic finale set in the ruins of Castle Borski. It's a fantastic climax filled with heroic sacrifice, shocking revelations, and a final, unforgettable confrontation with the creature. If you're looking for a horror film that is less about jump scares and more about rich atmosphere, brilliant performances, and a truly unique monster, then The Gorgon is an absolute must-see. It's a stylish, exciting, and wonderfully entertaining ride from start to finish!

Protein is no longer just for nutritionists or the "gym bros on social media" it's now in your lassi, your bread, and even your Amul Kulfi (which packs 10 grams of protein). This surge in high-protein products from companies like Britannia and Amul is tackling a major health crisis: urban Indians consume a median of only 37 grams of protein daily, falling significantly short of the recommended 60 grams.But what is truly powering this rush? We explore how rising per capita income has made consumers willing to spend extra on products positioned as "healthier", providing FMCG companies with a golden opportunity to boost revenue with premium ₹30 or ₹40 variants.Join us as we ask the vital question: Are these products actually fixing India's nutrition problem, or just monetising it? We dive into the risk of the ‘health halo' effect—where consumers focus solely on the protein claim while ignoring potentially high sugar, carb, or fat content. Discover why a single protein snack, while beneficial, won't bridge the massive protein deficiency gap.Find out what it will take for this trend to become a genuine nutritional solution, rather than fading away like the "baked, not fried" fad of 2016Support ALL IS MONEY
¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Amigos, votad EODR para los premios de la audiencia de iVoox 2025 👉 https://go.ivoox.com/wv/premios25?c=3342 Tras la partición del Imperio entre los hermanos panonios, Valentiniano y Valente, el primero se dirigió a Occidente para asumir su parte del poder. Allí desplegó una intensa política interior, marcada por reformas destinadas a afianzar su dinastía y a reforzar las estructuras del Estado. Sin embargo, estas iniciativas no estuvieron exentas de fricciones con las orgullosas aristocracias romanas. Pero si algo definió su reinado no fue la vida política en los palacios, sino la incesante presión de la guerra en las fronteras. El Rin hervía de tribus inquietas y hostiles, mientras los ejércitos clamaban por más hombres y más recursos. Las fortalezas, murallas y torres de vigilancia exigían un mantenimiento constante: la defensa del Imperio nunca descansaba. Hoy viajamos a esa vieja frontera del Rin, escenario de continuas tensiones, y desde allí alzaremos la mirada hacia Britannia. En la gran isla, la situación se tornaba crítica: pictos, sajones y escotos se habían confederado en un mismo propósito, decididos a arrebatarla a Roma por la fuerza. Pero Valentiniano, encadenado por la amenaza germánica, no podía acudir en auxilio de la provincia. Britannia parecía destinada a perderse para siempre. Es entonces cuando irrumpe en escena la figura providencial de Teodosio el Viejo. ¿Quién era este hombre? ¿De dónde provenía? ¿Con qué recursos contaba para reconquistar Britannia y restaurar la unidad perdida de Occidente? Adjunto mapa con la situación de Britannia durante este momento. Espero que os ayude a comprender y asimilar el episodio. Respecto a la portada del episodio, es obra del gran Enrico Marini que muy amablemente me permitió utilizar una de las imágenes de su magistral cómic "Las águilas de Roma" para el podcast.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism Episode 176 - Hammer Britannia 020 - The Evil Of Frankenstein (1964) In Hammer's "The Evil of Frankenstein" (1964), a destitute Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), with his assistant Hans, is forced to flee and returns to his ancestral chateau in Karlstaad. He finds his home looted by vengeful villagers and his original creation missing. Guided by a deaf-mute girl, he discovers the Creature (Kiwi Kingston) perfectly preserved in a glacier. After thawing and reanimating its body, Frankenstein finds its mind is dormant. Desperate, he seeks help from Professor Zoltan, a traveling carnival hypnotist, hoping to reactivate the Creature's brain. Zoltan succeeds but seizes control of the powerful being for his own greedy purposes. He commands the Creature to steal and murder, enacting revenge on the town officials who wronged him. The Creature's rampage spirals out of control, leading to Zoltan's death. In a drunken rage, the Creature accidentally sets Frankenstein's laboratory ablaze. Refusing to abandon his creation, the Baron is trapped in the inferno, seemingly perishing alongside the monster in the fiery explosion that consumes the chateau. "I realised long ago that the only way to prove my theories was to make something in my laboratory that actually lived. I never told you, Hans... I succeeded once."

When Queen Elizabeth II and her family went on vacation, they didn't fly coach or take a carnival cruise. They traveled in style aboard Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia. The Queen designed the ship herself the year of her coronation. This was her favorite place to be, where she could truly unwind. I recently had the opportunity to tour this historic yacht in Edinburgh, Scotland. And to talk with the Yotties who served the Queen while she traveled the world. Let's explore this floating time capsule, learn how it functioned, find out where the royals visited, what they ate, how they slept and relaxed. I'll dish on the four honeymoons which took place on board, and we'll be treated to an intimate glimpse of the British royal family at their most relaxed, while on vacation!

Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)"Schetsen uit Amerika", een Nederlandse vertaling van "American Notes" (vertaler onbekend), is een reisverslag van Charles Dickens waarin hij zijn eerste bezoek aan de Verenigde Staten beschreef. Deze reis vond plaats in 1842 en zijn verblijf duurde zes maanden, van januari tot en met juni. Hij werd vergezeld door zijn vrouw Catherine.Na een zware overtocht op het overvolle schip Britannia van de Cunard Line kwam hij aan in Boston, waar hij, als reeds internationaal gevierd schrijver, een warm welkom kreeg. Dickens bereisde vervolgens voornamelijk de oostkust en het gebied van de Grote Meren. Ook bezocht hij president John Tyler in het Witte Huis.Dickens steekt zijn bewondering voor de Amerikaanse vorm van democratie niet onder stoelen of banken. Niettemin blijkt er sprake van een haat-liefde verhouding. Hij maakte een groot aantal kritische en zure opmerkingen, niet in de laatste plaats over het onderwerp auteursrechten. Zijn werken werden in Amerika volop gelezen, maar aangezien er geen internationale overeenkomst bestond op het gebied van copyright, verschenen zijn boeken in niet-geautoriseerde vorm en ontving de schrijver hiervoor geen cent. Ook parodieerde hij de gewoonten en gesprekken van de doorsnee Amerikaan en was hij geïrriteerd over de in zijn ogen onbeschaamde opdringerigheid van zijn bewonderaars. Ook de nog heersende slavernij was hem een doorn in het oog en hij gaf hier niet-malse kritiek op. Een en ander werd hem door de Amerikanen, die hem toch vriendelijk hadden ontvangen en zijn hele bezoek goed hadden geregeld, niet in dank afgenomen. De ervaringen tijdens zijn reis vormden de inspiratie voor zijn roman Martin Chuzzlewit, dat in de Verenigde Staten koel werd ontvangen, maar de lezers er verder niet van weerhield zijn boeken te blijven lezen.
Luca, Stelios and Charlie discuss the Britannia hotel getting colonised, the Mehdi Hasan vs Pinesap incident, and why Kemi Badenoch is finished.

The family members soon become victims of a mysterious killer, who murders them one by one in bizarre fashion. Trapped by the storm with the strange household, Tom must navigate the growing paranoia and uncover the identity of the murderer before he also falls victim.

Emperor Honorius told Britannia to see to its own defenses and the darkness fell on the island. With the Picts and Saxons overrunning Rome's forgotten province, one man, whose name would become inextricably linked with Arthurian lore, stood against the barbarian tide to protect what was left of Roman Britannia: Ambrosius Aurelianus.

The weekend saw the US launch airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, with Tehran warning of ‘everlasting consequences'. Despite an emergency Cobra meeting and Luke Pollard's morning media round, we are still waiting for an answer on whether the government supports Trump's action. Keir Starmer's assured and confident position on the world stage now looks to be in peril, as he is pulled between Trump, his attorney general and the court of public opinion. Can he de-escalate?Also on the podcast, Nigel Farage delivered a speech this morning in which he announced changes to non-doms and unveiled a new ‘Britannia card' – although most of the questions afterwards centred on the situation in the Middle East. This comes after Ipsos polling gave Reform UK a record nine-point lead over the Labour party. How has Reform managed to cultivate this new coalition?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
OnlyFans is giving the Treasury what it wants – but should we be concerned?‘OnlyFans,' writes Louise Perry, ‘is the most profitable content subscription service in the world.' Yet ‘the vast majority of its content creators make very little from it'. So why are around 4 per cent of young British women selling their wares on the site? ‘Imitating Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips – currently locked in a competition to have sex with the most men in a day – isn't pleasant.' OnlyFans gives women ‘the sexual attention and money of hundreds and even thousands of men'. The result is ‘a cascade of depravity' that Perry wouldn't wish on her worst enemy.In business terms, however, OnlyFans is a ‘staggering success', according to economics editor Michael Simmons. ‘Britain's sex industry brings in far more to the economy than politicians are comfortable admitting'; OnlyFans might just be Britain's most profitable tech start-up. ‘If we are going to wage a moral war on porn,' Simmons argues, ‘we should at least be honest about what we're sacrificing.' Louise and Michael joined the podcast to discuss further (1:21).Next: could Xi Jinping's time be up?Historian Francis Pike writes about the unusual absence of China's President Xi. China-watchers have detected some subtle differences from the norm in Chinese media, from fewer official references to Xi to changes in routine politburo meetings. So, could Xi Jinping be forced to step down? And if so, who is on manoeuvres and why?Francis joined the podcast alongside former diplomat Kerry Brown, professor of China Studies at King's College London (22:31).And finally: is the era of the lonely hearts ad coming to an end?Tony Whitehead provides his notes on lonely hearts columns this week, writing about how, 330 years after they first appeared in print in Britain, they may soon disappear. Francesca Beauman – who literally wrote the book on the subject, Shapely Ankle Preferr'd – and Mark Mason join the podcast to provide their favourite examples, from the serious to the humorous (35:13).Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism Fancy a twisted trip to France? Our American painter, Jeff, certainly gets more than he bargained for when he dallies with the alluring Eve. She cooks up a rather madcap scheme to spring her hubby, Georges, from the local asylum using a handy oxyacetylene torch. But hold onto your berets! This seemingly straightforward caper spirals into a fiery game of murder, mistaken identities, and shocking revelations. Turns out, some folks are just a tad maniacal, and poor Jeff's in a very sticky situation! Paranoiac (1963) Right then, pack your bags for the sun-drenched, yet surprisingly sinister, Camargue region of France! Our protagonist, the somewhat hapless American painter Jeff Farrell, arrives looking for inspiration but quickly finds himself ensnared in a rather sticky wicket. He catches the eye of the mature and manipulative Eve Beynat, who runs a local bar with her lovely stepdaughter, Annette. Eve spins a yarn about her husband, Georges, unjustly locked away in a nearby asylum for a crime he didn't commit – supposedly for using an oxyacetylene torch on his daughter's attacker. Before you can say "amour fou," Jeff is persuaded to help bust Georges out. The plan? Use that infamous torch to cut through the bars, or, if Georges has already shuffled off this mortal coil, to discreetly dispose of his remains. Naturally, things go wildly off-piste. The breakout seems to succeed, but soon a body turns up, and the ever-suspicious Inspector Etienne starts sniffing around. Jeff, bless his naive heart, finds himself sinking deeper into a quagmire of deceit, where identities blur and everyone seems to have a hidden agenda. Was Georges truly wronged? Is Eve the damsel in distress she claims? And what's Annette's real role in this increasingly dangerous charade? Prepare for twists, turns, and a climax that proves some folks are just plain maniacal! "You take a man's wife, Mr. Farrell, but not his money?"
